A couple of weeks ago I attended Pro Beauty at ExCel London, which was actually a bit disappointing compared to previous years. A lot of brands I would make a point of seeing in previous years weren’t there and there seemed to be an overload of nails and salon machines. Whilst I left earlier than I usually would I didn’t come away completely empty handed and picked up a couple of bargains including two sets of Spectrum Brushes.Read more »

I always seem to be having conversations with friends about booking a spa weekend or going for a spa day, but it just never seems to come to fruition. This all changed recently when the Spa Manager from The Bannatyne Spa in Orpington invited me to the opening day of the spa.

Ginger, check. Freckles, check. Pale skin, check! All of these factors mean that I rarely tan, I tend to just go a shade of red as I like to compare to a gleaming lobster under the oven lights, so if I want a tan I have to fake it.

I had no make up or beauty experience before I started with them and I got a little training whilst working with them but unfortunately not as much as I had hoped for, so I did the ultimate blogger thing and turned to YouTube tutorials and used my friends as guinea pigs.Read more »

Nars Cosmetics are a brand that I had never tried as I found them a bit too expensive and was more than happy sticking with my Urban Decay and Bare Minerals favourites.

If there’s one thing in your make up bag you should invest in it’s your foundation make up brushes. It might seem like a good idea at the time to save money by grabbing a cheap duplicate of the brush you were advised to purchase alongside your foundation, but in the long run you will more than likely regret that decision. If you are willing to spend a lot of money getting the right foundation, why then apply it with a cheap brush with less quality bristles and an inadequate finish.Read more »

Since the release of the beautiful Urban Decay Gwen Stefani eyeshadow palette I (and I imagine many of you) have personally spent a good amount of time lusting over the sneak previews of the upcoming releases that include lipsticks, lip liners, a brow box and the gorgeous blush palette, and they’re FINALLY here.
